Reminds me of Hedy Lamarr suing Mel Brooks for using her name in Blazing Saddles.

LOVE Audrey. ♥️ I understand the ruling, but kind of bittersweet as it doesn’t seem like the restaurant’s intent was to exploit in any way... More like pay homage?

Should've went with the Mickey Mouse theme... Perfectly legal... Now at least.

Speaking of Mickeys, this Oriental restaurant could use an image of Hepburn's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" co-star Mickey Rooney's character I.Y. Yunioshi that enrages so many people.

Makes a lot more sense than Paul Newman's image on salad dressings.

The Hepburn Children’s Fund (official foundation of the family) is California based. The law pushed by attorney Bela Lugosi, Jr. protects the Hepburn children. Lugosi was instrumental in helping advance personality rights for deceased stars when he protected his late father’s Dracula rights.

California Civil Code section 3344.1 was violated here by the restaurant in China because Hepburn’s charity (based in California) is legally granted the right to protect her name.

When I was in law school, in Columbia, Missouri, I sometimes went to a hot dog restaurant called “Famous Freddy’s”. It is closed now, but the theme of the restaurant was famous people (real and fictitious) named Fred. Pictures inside the restaurant included Fred McMurray, Fred Flintstone, Fred G. Sanford, Fred Rogers, Fred Astaire, etc. The $2 onion bricks were amazing.
